Fx5 issues please help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I may have found the issue. The polishing pad that I forgot I put in seems to be plugged up . DOes anyone else use polishing pads or can I avoid using these ?
 
You don't need to use a polishing pad, get rid of it. Just add bio media in the middle, the outside sponges do a great job at mechanical filtration.
 
that's what I thought. I hope that will solve the problem . I also found a little bit of sand in the bottom so maybe I should pull the impeller out and see if there is sand in there also . My kraussi does a good job of breaking stuff . Ever since he passed the 10 inch mark he seems to enjoy wrecking his habitat .
 
Check to make sure the impeller spins freely. Sometimes they'll start to rust and won't spin correctly.

Polishing pads are ok to use as long as you replace them every now and then. If you still got the impeller assembly out, applying some silicone grease on it would help a little. If not, maybe on next maintenance :)
